Year after year, it never ceases to amaze us how beautiful of a community we have formed here at .chicago . Our end of the school year party/graduation ceremony is one of our favorite events for many reasons, but seeing our big kids walk across their “stage” and reflecting on all the memories made takes the cake! We could not be more proud of our little graduates (few not pictured) and are honored to have been chosen as their first home away from home. Each and every graduate will hold a special place in our Choo Choo hearts forever! We can’t wait to watch you all take over the world! 🌎❤️

We will miss all of our little friends next week as we head into our “summer break” but we already can’t wait to get back and kick off SUMMER CAMP 2024! Wishing everyone a great week and we’ll see you on the 24th! ☀️

Another successful field trip in the books! The Hoppers and Locomotives took a trip to the Lincoln Park Barn to check out some animals and have some fun out in the wild! It is so magical getting to explore our city and the world around us through the eyes of our little ones.

Thank you to the amazing chaperones and parents who make these trips possible! We’re looking forward to more fun adventures this summer! 🐄🐷🐰
